This list is not intended to be posted to directly by anyone but bugzilla 
itself. If you have a bug, please report it at d.puremagic.com/issues (in 
which case, that would be messaged to this list). If you have a question about 
learning D, then post to digitalmars-d-learn, and if you have a general D 
question then, post it to digitalmars-d.
